    upon a time there was no zero. Of course people knew if they had nothing‚ but there was no mathematical notation for it. Zero was independently invented only three times. The first recorded zero is attributed to the Babylonians in the 3rd century BC. A long period followed when no one else used a zero place holder. But then the Mayans‚ halfway around the world in Central America‚ independently invented zero in the fourth century CE. The final independent invention of zero in India was long debated

     and the sooner we accept it the better chance we have of finding truth.  Doubt‚ as writer Patrick Shanley describes it‚ is a “wordless Being [that] moves just as the instant moves; it presses upward without explanation... until the resisting consciousness has no choice but to give way” (p.5). Are we giving enough consideration to this part of ourselves? There is a voice that will question what you will not. We will never escape this feeling of doubt. Patrick Shanley’s play Doubt: A Parable is about accepting this feeling

    Certainty & Doubt

    • 2 Pages

    The Relationship Between Certainty & Doubt Phelps’ view that “certainty” enables one to “accomplish virtually anything” seems in conflict with Russell’s belief that opinions should be measured with “some sense of doubt”. Upon closer examination what is best when making life decisions is a matter of perspective. When weighing certainty versus doubt in the construct of important choices‚ it is irrefutable that they are different sides of the same coin; without one there cannot be the other. Absolute

    Shadow of a Doubt

    • 8 Pages

    Alfred Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt is no less than a perfect example of film noir. Low-key lighting‚ dramatic shadow patterning‚ and camera angles are all expertly used to foreshadow and portray the emotions and psyche of the characters. Hitchcock uses sets and props to mirror scenes‚ creates characters that are remarkably similar but simultaneously conflicting‚ and emphasizes emotions that offer contradictions. The sense of duality and contradiction in the film demonstrates how darkness can take

    Doubt in Macbeth The play Macbeth contains doubt in many different ways. In the beginning of the play‚ we are struck by a very insecure Macbeth. He is indeed curious about what would happen if he were to take Duncan’s place and become the king of Scotland. If it were done when ’tis done‚ then ’twere well 
It were done quickly. If th’assassination Could trammel up the consequence‚ and catch

    some sort of doubt. This conflict between optimism and doubt is most importantly meant to be kept balanced. This balance of doubt and optimism can be seen in the real world in many ways such as in sports or school. When Phelps said that we need to have an “absolute sense of certainty‚” he meant a setting your mind to it mentality. If you can imagine it then you can do it. This however‚ is not healthy and must be counteracted by Russell’s statement by always having “some measure of doubt.” When the

    Because doubt often takes over in our minds‚ therefore it can stop us from accomplishing tasks that we are certain we can do‚ since certainty comes through our minds and easily exits leaving us in doubt about what could have been. On the other hand‚ certainty gives confidence to people who become so overwhelmed with doubt. Certainty is what allows us to have more confidence to accomplish anything that other people may believe is the impossible. More than likely there have been many cases in history
